So long, farewell....

Yesterday afternoon I sent Ally to the bathroom to wash her hands. A few minutes later she shut the bathroom door. She does this about 2-3 times a day when she takes her hairdo out and sprays it with the spray bottle until it's drenched. I guess she doesn't want me watching. I assumed that was what she was doing. About 10 minutes later, I had run downstairs to get something, she comes walking down the stairs with a big, shy grin on her face. I about DIED! She had taken the scissors to her beautiful, long, thick locks. I didn't know what to say. When she saw my face she started crying. I felt bad, so I tried to pull myself out of shock and figure out what to do. I went into the bathroom to find a garbage can and a sink full of hair. She had butchered it so badly that it had to be taken care of right then and by a professional (not me!) It was 5:00 on Saturday, so most salons were closed. I finally found somewhere that was open and she now sports a short bob that is still a little uneven on the left side, but I didn't want it all cut as short as she had cut it because I want it to grow back out and the sooner the better. Below are the pictures of the episode. Good thing she has such a darling little face!

Pictures by Jodi at the Reunion

We just got back from an awesome trip to Utah and Idaho for family reunions on both sides. Jeff's sister Jodi took pictures of each family (all 8) in this broken down dugout in Idaho. They turned out great. Here are a few of our favs. Remember, I'm 7 months pregnant, so not at my best :)
